Democrats, Republicans and their surrogates released mock Valentine’s Day greetings pretending to be written by the other party and proving that love doesn’t triumph over bitter partisanship.

“Obamacare: He exempts me, he exempts me not,” reads one card on the conservative group Jobs Growth and Freedom Fund’s website – a reference to the Obama administration allowing exemptions for some groups under the Affordable Care Act.

“When I said you could keep your plan, I didn’t mean forever,” reads another, featuring a picture of President Barack Obama with his finger on his lips. That pokes fun at Mr. Obama’s erroneous pledge that the ACA wouldn’t take away existing health care plans. It did in some cases.)

“My love for you has me going nuclear,” reads a third, next to a photo of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), who along with other Democrats triggered the “nuclear option,” ending filibusters on confirmation votes for most presidential appointees.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee is tweeting valentines purportedly signed by the GOP under the hashtag #RealGOPValentine.

One card, addressed to voters, says, “Feel free to make plans for November 4. Long lines, restrictive new laws—voting’s gonna be a drag,” referring to some Republican lawmakers’ efforts to implement voter ID laws, which critics say could keep some 23 million citizens who don’t have proper photo ID from the polls.

Another card, addressed to women, says, “Keeping those libidos in check should be easy since you’re going to be working 23% more to make the same amount of money as men. Do we have your vote?” Last month, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, commented about the government providing contraception because women “cannot control their libido or their reproductive system” without such help.

A third is addressed to minimum-wage workers: “Work full time to support your family and still can’t pay fair market rent in any state? Seems right to us.” Democrats, including Mr. Obama, support raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, but Republicans have said they oppose the increase.

The Republican National Committee released its own bunch of cards, including one that reads: “I told my jobs council ‘let’s just be friends’ this Valentine’s Day,” next to a picture of Mr. Obama. And there’s one with a picture of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) that says, “Spare no expense this Valentine’s Day, we don’t have a spending problem.”

Organizing for Action, the fundraising and advocacy spinoff of Mr. Obama’s election campaign, released valentines via a Facebook page called the Adorable Care Act, urging people to enroll in health insurance plans. “Not having health insurance? That’s PANDAmonium,” reads one card, overlaid on a picture of three pandas. “I don’t mean to badger you, but it’s time to get covered,” says another, with a picture of—you guessed it—a badger.
